A subgroup of the youngsters on the autism spectrum are highly, evenly painfully sensitive. The normal stimuli and environments to which we are exposed in our daily lives are more than they can handle. The diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is given to these children. Homeopathy can be a excellent approach for these children for a number of reasons.
The following are questions we have received over time from women asking about homeopathic care.
Having begun our work in the psychiatric field 40 years ago, we witnessed the side effects of psychiatric medications, especially for schizophrenia, some of which were irreversible. Today, conventional medicine still offers no impressive answers for schizophrenia.

So now, more than ever, we are advocating for safe and natural treatments as an alternative to antidepressants for treating depression and other mental health concerns.
For childhood ear infections (otitis media), your pediatrician will probably prescribe antibiotics and myringotomy (ear tubes inserted surgically) as the only treatments for otitis media. Both of these treatments have been challenged in various studies and appear to be no more effective, long-term, in preventing recurrences of otitis than placebos. Why subject your child to this stress and trauma when homeopathy is extremely likely to heal your child of the ear infections as well as other constitutional problems?

Drug-resistant strains are spreading and global warming is making the problem worse. New research shows promising results with homeopathic remedies.
When we told folks we were naturopathic doctors in the 80s, they invariably queried, “What is that?” Now natural medicine is a household term, big business, and in great demand worldwide. With so many different options, how do you know which approach to choose? This article offers 10 questions to ask yourself in order to assess whether homeopathy is the best match for you.

When we first dipped our toes into the stream of natural medicine some thirty years ago, options were relatively few. Now we are impressed by how many different natural options are available. How bewildering it must be for some of you to decide what to pursue.
